A week ago I became a new co-owner by
bdl
I thought I had posted this last week, but it appears it never got to
the Usenet at large so here's try #2. After all the praise Jack
Allison's been getting on his new bird, I've become a little jealous.
(And what a nice bird it is Jack)
I've become a new co-owner in a 4-way in an existing...

Bonanza second row side window cracked - How? by
Peter R.
Today I spotted two four inch and one six inch vertical cracks in the side
window at the seat directly behind the pilot seat. The cracks are almost
perfectly straight and originate at the top frame more or less in the middle
of the window. The aircraft is a 1973 V35B and I would imagine that...

Intercom Problem with New Radio by
Steve - KDMW
I had my old Narco COM 120 replaced with a new Garmin SL40 and now
when the new radio is turned on my intercom volume drops by at least
half. Anyone seen this before? It has the avionics shop baffled. I
have an SPA 4000 intercom and a King KA-134 audio panel. I looked on
the Bendix website and I...

396 question by
dlevy
I use mapsource with my 396. Occasionally an address is incorrect. That
got me wondering what is the process by which Garmin (or whoever) builds the
database? Can I submit an error to get the database fixed?

Are all aircraft brokers like this? by
Stan Prevost
I recently sold our airplane using a broker to represent us as sellers.
Things seemed to be OK, a few rough spots, and I would like to have gotten a
little better offer, but we negotiated with a buyer through the broker and
agreed to a sale. Paperwork for the sale then proceeded OK and I flew...

Hard Starting Cold Continental Engines by

My Seneca V (Continental TSIO-360-RB) has been very hard to start

burning out several starters I have tried tune-ups prior to winter and

Mooney M20F narrow across the shoulders by
Mark Hansen
I looked at a 1969 Mooney M20F over the weekend, and was surprised
to see how narrow it is in the cockpit. While sitting in the pilot's
seat, I was pushed to the right by the left side of the cabin, and
was not able to sit directly behind the control yoke.
Perhaps I'm just too big for this...

Cleaning Windows -- Acrylic Cleaners? by
zatatime
I'm wondering what type of acrylic cleaners are used to clean the
windsheild and windows in your aircraft and where you get it. I've
found a bunch of cleaners through the standard aviation sales channels
but am wondering if there is something I could pick up locally so I
don't always have to plan...

The engine has been running great, especially lately.
However, my...

Garmin 430 Reception by

Our "new" '79 M20J came with a 2 year old Garmin 430 GPS and Garmin 340
audio panel. The backup radio is an ancient King 170B. I must say that
the reception on the Garmin sucks compared to the 170B. Am I doing
something wrong or is this just something I have to live with? To me for
